Accounting Policies [Abstract]
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY	1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY: I-Minerals Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, in 1984. The Company is listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “IMA” and the OTCQB marketplace under the symbol “IMAHF”. The Company’s principal business is the development of the Helmer-Bovill industrial mineral property (“the Property”) located in Latah County, Idaho. Since inception, the Company has been in the exploration and evaluation stage but moved into the development stage in fiscal 2018. In fiscal 2019, the Company reverted back to the evaluation stage as management determined that the Feasibility Study on the property should be considered non-current. The Helmer-Bovill property is comprised of eleven mineral leases that host potentially economic deposits of feldspar, quartz and kaolinitic clays, primarily kaolinite and halloysite. Basis of Presentation and Liquidity The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information as well as Article 10 of Regulation S-X on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At July 31, 2019, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had an accumulated deficit of $44,242,390 since inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three months ended July 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending April 30, 2020. All amounts presented are in US dollars except where otherwise indicated. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended April 30, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on July 29, 2019. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to develop the Property and to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Although the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company. The Company has been receiving funds from a company controlled by a director of the Company through promissory notes (Notes 5 and 10). Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or promissory notes; however there is no assurance of additional funding being available. The Company has historically satisfied its capital needs primarily by issuing equity securities and/or promissory notes. Management plans to continue to provide for its capital needs by issuing equity securities and/or promissory notes.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures The book value of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of those instruments. The fair value hierarchy under US GAAP is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable inputs other than Level I, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and Level 3 - assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s promissory notes are based on Level 2 inputs in the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. The Company calculated the fair value of these instruments by discounting future cash flows using rates representative of current borrowing rates. At July 31, 2019, the promissory notes had a fair value of $24,136,211 (April 30, 2019 – $22,602,379). The Company had certain Level 3 liabilities required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with US GAAP as at April 30, 2019 and 2018. As at July 31, 2019, the Company’s Level 3 liabilities consisted of share purchase options granted to non-employees. The resulting Level 3 liabilities have no active market and are required to be measured at their fair value each reporting period based on information that is unobservable. A summary of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities for the three months ended July 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows: 2019 $ 2018 $ Warrants Beginning fair value - 95,570 Issuance - 1,602 Change in fair value - (53,433) Ending fair value - 43,739 Non-employee options (Note 6(c)) Beginning fair value 6,191 205,120 Transfer value on exercise - (23,040) Fair value of options on vesting 1,100 - Change in fair value 4,314 (83,690) Ending fair value 11,605 98,390 Total Level 3 liabilities 11,605 142,129 Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the periods ended July 31, 2019 and 2018. Earnings (Loss) Per Share The basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For the three months ended July 31, 2019, loss per share excludes 5,979,097 (2018 – 9,914,001) potentially dilutive common shares (related to outstanding options and warrants as well as shares committed to be issued pursuant to the Fifth Promissory Notes) as their effect was anti-dilutive. New Accounting Pronouncements Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, as amended, Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than twelve months regardless of whether the lease is classified as an operating lease or a financing lease. Effective May 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new standard under the modified retrospective approach, applying the current-period adjustment method. Under the transition guidance of the modified retrospective approach there are a number of optional practical expedients made available to simplify the transition of the new standard. The Company has elected the following: - The condensed consolidated balance sheets for reporting periods beginning on or after May 1, 2019 are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases. The Company did not recognize any cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of deficit as there was no impact on adoption of the new standard. - The Company has elected to utilize the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance in the standard, which allowed the Company to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, (ii) historical lease classification, and (iii) initial direct costs. - The Company has elected to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. Upon adoption, the Company did not record any adjustments to the balance sheet, statement of loss or statement of cash flows. Fair Value Measurements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" which adds the disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Certain alternatives apply. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is assessing the impact of this standard.

MINERAL PROPERTY INTEREST	3. MINERAL PROPERTY INTEREST AND DEFERRED DEVELOPMENT COSTS: Helmer-Bovill Property – Latah County, Idaho The Company has an undivided 100% interest in 11 State of Idaho mineral leases. The State of Idaho mineral leases are subject to a 5% production royalty on gross sales. The mineral leases are in good standing until March 1, 2023 at which time they will be held by us contingent on production. In May 2017, the Idaho Department of Lands accepted our operation and reclamation plan. Together with a water rights permit from the Idaho Department of Water Resources, we were able to proceed with development and construction of the mine, subject to obtaining sufficient financing. As a result, Management made the decision to begin capitalizing all development expenditures directly related to the Helmer-Bovill Property. In February 2019, the Company determined that the Feasibility Study should be considered non-current and accordingly, the Company has returned to the evaluation stage for accounting purposes.

The Third Promissory Notes were due on June 30, 2019. On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into an amending agreement with the Lender extending the maturity date to October 31, 2019 for no consideration. The Fifth Promissory Notes are due on December 31, 2019. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 470-50 and ASC 470-60, the Company determined that the June 28, 2019 extension agreement resulted in a debt modification, not debt extinguishment or troubled debt restructuring. There was no accounting impact from the debt modification. Certain conditions may result in early repayment including immediate repayment in the event a person currently not related to the Company acquires more than 40% of the outstanding common shares of the Company Third Promissory Notes The Third Promissory Notes bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum and during the three months ended July 31, 2019, the Company recorded interest of $657,507 (2018 - $580,865) , of which $nil was capitalized to mineral property interest (2018 - $37,796) and $657,507 was expensed (2018 - $543,069). Interest is payable semi-annually as calculated on May 31 st th Fifth Promissory Notes On September 11, 2018, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with the Lender pursuant to which up to $2,500,000 will be advanced to the Company in tranches (the “Fifth Promissory Notes”). As at July 31, 2019, the Company had received $2,065,000 (April 30, 2019 - $1,820,000) in advances pursuant to the Fifth Promissory Notes. Subsequent to July 31, 2019, the Company received an additional $280,000 in advances (Note 10). The Fifth Promissory Notes bear interest at the rate of 14% per annum and during the three months ended July 31, 2019, the Company recorded interest of $80,003 (2018 - $nil). Interest is payable semi-annually as calculated on May 31 st th The Company and the Lender agreed that the Lender is to receive bonus shares equal to 6% of each loan tranche advanced under the Fifth Promissory Notes divided by the Company’s common share market price up to a maximum of 1,054,097 bonus shares. At July 31, 2019 and April 30, 2019, the Company was committed to issuing 1,054,097 bonus shares to the Lender with a fair value of $106,858. The fair value of the bonus shares was determined by reference to the trading price of the Company’s common shares on the date the advances were received. The aggregate finance fees (bonus shares) are recorded against the promissory notes balance and are being amortized to the Statement of Loss over the life of the promissory notes using the effective interest method. The accretion expense in respect of the debt discount recorded on the issuance of bonus shares totalled $25,538 for the three months ended July 31, 2019 (2018 - $nil). The unamortized debt discount as at July 31, 2019 is $34,810 (April 30, 2019 – $60,348). The Third Promissory Notes and the Fifth Promissory Notes are collateralized by the Company’s Helmer-Bovill Property.

All shares are ranked equally with regards to the Company’s residual assets. b) Stock transactions: During the three months ended July 31, 2019, the Company did not complete any stock transactions. During the three months ended July 31, 2018, the Company completed the following stock transactions: i) On July 30, 2018, the Company issued 600,000 common shares on the exercise of stock options with an exercise price of CAD$0.10 per common share resulting in gross proceeds of CAD$60,000 ($46,085). c) Stock options: The Company has granted stock options under the terms of its Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that the directors of the Company may grant options to purchase common shares to directors, officers, employees and service providers of the Company on terms that the directors of the Company may determine are within the limitations set forth in the Plan. The maximum number of shares available under the Plan is limited to 10% of the issued common shares. The maximum term of stock options is ten years. All stock options vest on the date of grant, unless otherwise stated. As at July 31, 2019, the Company had 4,342,612 stock options available for grant pursuant to the Plan (April 30, 2019 – 3,642,612). The Company’s stock options outstanding as at July 31, 2019 and the changes for the period then ended are as follows: Number Outstanding Weighted Average Exercise Price (in CAD$) Balance outstanding at April 30, 2019 5,625,000 0.26 Expired (300,000) 0.25 Forfeited (400,000) 0.30 Balance outstanding at July 31, 2019 4,925,000 0.25 Balance exercisable at July 31, 2019 3,625,000 0.25 Summary of stock options outstanding at July 31, 2019: Security Number Outstanding Number Exercisable Exercise Price (CAD$) Expiry Date Remaining Contractual Life (years) Stock options 1,975,000 1,975,000 0.25 January 29, 2020 0.50 Stock options 200,000 200,000 0.25 August 4, 2020 1.01 Stock options 300,000 300,000 0.30 July 21, 2021 1.98 Stock options 1,000,000 1,000,000 0.25 April 20, 2022 2.72 Stock options (1) (1) 0.25 August 9, 2023 4.03 Notes: (1) 1,250,000 stock options vest on the completion of certain milestones including equity financing, project financing, mine construction and achieving commercial production. 200,000 stock options vest as to 25% every three months from the date of grant. Non-Employee Stock Options In accordance with the guidance of ASC 815-40-15, stock options awarded to non-employees that are fully vested and exercisable in Canadian dollars are required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities because they are considered not to be indexed to the Company’s stock due to their exercise price being denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency. Stock options awarded to non-employees that are not vested are accounted for as equity awards until the terms associated with their vesting requirements have been met. As at July 31, 2019, there were 50,000 (April 30, 2019 – 100,000) non-employee stock option awards that had not yet vested. The non-employee stock options are accounted for at their respective fair values and are summarized as follows for the three months ended July 31, 2019 and 2018: 2019 $ 2018 $ Fair value of non-employee options, beginning of the period 6,191 205,120 Transfer value on exercise of options - (23,040) Fair value of options on vesting 1,100 - Change in fair value of non-employee stock options during the period 4,314 (83,690) Fair value of non-employee options, end of the year 11,605 98,390 The Company determined the fair value of its non-employee stock options as at July 31, 2019 and April 30, 2019 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: July 31, 2019 April 30, 2019 Stock price (CAD$) 0.05 0.07 Exercise price (CAD$) 0.26 0.26 Risk-free interest rate (%) 1.71 1.52 Expected life (years) 2.28 2.23 Expected volatility (%) 92 64 Expected dividends ($) Nil Nil The non-employee options are required to be re-valued with the change in fair value of the liability recorded as a gain or loss on the change of fair value of derivative liability and included in other items in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Loss at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the options will continue to be classified as a liability until such time as they are exercised, expire or there is an amendment to the respective agreements that renders these financial instruments to be no longer classified as a liability. As at July 31, 2019, the unamortized compensation cost of options is $93,412 and the intrinsic value of options expected to vest is $nil. Share-based payments are classified in the Company’s Statement of Loss during the three months ended July 31, 2019 and 2018 as follows: 2019 $ 2018 $ Management and consulting fees 858 - 858 -

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures	Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures The book value of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of those instruments. The fair value hierarchy under US GAAP is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 - observable inputs other than Level I, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and Level 3 - assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s promissory notes are based on Level 2 inputs in the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. The Company calculated the fair value of these instruments by discounting future cash flows using rates representative of current borrowing rates. At July 31, 2019, the promissory notes had a fair value of $24,136,211 (April 30, 2019 – $22,602,379). The Company had certain Level 3 liabilities required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with US GAAP as at April 30, 2019 and 2018. As at July 31, 2019, the Company’s Level 3 liabilities consisted of share purchase options granted to non-employees. The resulting Level 3 liabilities have no active market and are required to be measured at their fair value each reporting period based on information that is unobservable. A summary of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities for the three months ended July 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows: 2019 $ 2018 $ Warrants Beginning fair value - 95,570 Issuance - 1,602 Change in fair value - (53,433) Ending fair value - 43,739 Non-employee options (Note 6(c)) Beginning fair value 6,191 205,120 Transfer value on exercise - (23,040) Fair value of options on vesting 1,100 - Change in fair value 4,314 (83,690) Ending fair value 11,605 98,390 Total Level 3 liabilities 11,605 142,129 Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the periods ended July 31, 2019 and 2018.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	Earnings (Loss) Per Share The basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For the three months ended July 31, 2019, loss per share excludes 5,979,097 (2018 – 9,914,001) potentially dilutive common shares (related to outstanding options and warrants as well as shares committed to be issued pursuant to the Fifth Promissory Notes) as their effect was anti-dilutive.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, as amended, Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than twelve months regardless of whether the lease is classified as an operating lease or a financing lease. Effective May 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new standard under the modified retrospective approach, applying the current-period adjustment method. Under the transition guidance of the modified retrospective approach there are a number of optional practical expedients made available to simplify the transition of the new standard. The Company has elected the following: - The condensed consolidated balance sheets for reporting periods beginning on or after May 1, 2019 are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases. The Company did not recognize any cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of deficit as there was no impact on adoption of the new standard. - The Company has elected to utilize the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance in the standard, which allowed the Company to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, (ii) historical lease classification, and (iii) initial direct costs. - The Company has elected to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. Upon adoption, the Company did not record any adjustments to the balance sheet, statement of loss or statement of cash flows.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" which adds the disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Certain alternatives apply. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is assessing the impact of this standard.
